Summary:
A feral cat with a leghold trap on his front paw wandered into a woman’s yard. The cat wandered off before an SPCA responder arrived to take care of the animal. The woman’s only recourse was to use a humane cat trap and return the cat to the SPCA for euthanasia. Since the cat wandered off, presumably it “die[d] a slow agonizing death.”
